The God of Heavens

Chapter 248 You are the worst generation of the Wusheng Cult I have ever seen
Lin Yu stepped into the temple, but the people around him ignored him.

Passing through the beggars sitting around eating, deep inside the temple stands a statue of a deity, where several Taoist priests dressed in robes are praying devoutly.

Incense smoke filled the hall, and the statues of the gods stood majestically.

A prayer scroll hung on the wall, the handwriting neat and solemn. Lin Yu looked up and saw that the face of the statue was indeed exactly like his older brother.

As he concentrated, Lin Yu keenly sensed the immense power of incense surging within the statue, and at the same time, a vast will seemed to lurk deep within the temple, its oppressive aura resembling that of a true deity.

A thought stirred within him; this must be the person he had been searching for.

"Eternal Mother..." Lin Yu sneered, pointing his fingers like a sword. A dazzling burst of energy shot out, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, instantly severing the statue's head!

"boom--"

The stone statue's head fell to the ground, exploding into a shower of incense smoke. Chaos erupted inside the hall as the Taoist priests realized an uninvited guest had entered.

"You audacious madman!" The Taoist priest in the green robe, who was distributing porridge, was furious and lunged forward.

"Go away and play somewhere else, I don't have time for you!"

Without turning his head, Lin Yu struck out with his palm. The Taoist priest flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the offering table. The incense burner overturned, and the offerings scattered all over the ground.

"Eternal Mother!" Lin Yu's voice boomed like thunder, causing dust to fall from the beams. "Now that you're here, why hide your true colors?"

Boom!

The void trembled, and a vast pressure suddenly descended. High above on the other side of the temple, a hunched figure suddenly appeared.

It was an old woman with white hair and wrinkled skin, holding a cane with a coiled dragon design, looking just like the God of Longevity worshipped in a wealthy family. Only her eyes gleamed with an eerie, ghostly light, sending chills down one's spine.

Three halos floated behind her head, with red, blue, and purple halos reflecting each other, just like the gods and Buddhas enshrined in a temple.

As the light wheel turned, the entire space trembled, and the immense divine power pressed down on the worshippers in the hall, causing them to kneel on the ground, trembling with fear.

"Oh?" The old woman leaned on her cane, her voice hoarse as if grinding sand. "When did Wu Yuan Province produce such an arrogant young man as you? You destroyed my idol, did you come here specifically to find me?"
"Young man, how dare you! Don't you know who your master is? Didn't I tell you of my formidable reputation?"

The three radiant wheels transformed into a tangible pressure that crushed Lin Yu, causing the beams and pillars inside the hall to groan under the unbearable weight, and tiles to fall in a rustling sound.

"You vixen, you really did come out. It wasn't for nothing that I came all this way to capture you!"

Lin Yu suddenly smiled and immediately realized that this "Eternal Mother" was able to control her true form to fly by relying on the three layers of Buddha-like halo behind her head.

Each of these three halos is equivalent to a ghost immortal, essentially an external body. As for her, she did not break through the barrier between life and death at all.

"Young man, you are too arrogant! I don't know where you learned of my mother's whereabouts, but you followed those chivalrous young men and came here to uphold justice. Unfortunately, you shouldn't have broken the statue of the God.

"Fine, I, your old mother, will have no choice but to kill you, grind your bones to ashes, and imprison your soul forever, so that you may never be reincarnated!"

The old woman spoke in a dismissive tone.

"Ah!"

Lin Yu chuckled. He was on a completely different wavelength from this kind of insect. He'd better teach her a lesson with the Hell Furnace!
In an instant, Lin Yu's blood and qi surged, like a volcanic eruption, and his powerful masculine energy soared into the sky, instantly spreading in all directions.

Since taking the Dragon Transformation Pill, he had already broken through to the Martial Saint realm. At this moment, his blood and qi erupted, like a divine sun breaking through the dawn and leaping over the horizon.

"Huh? What is this! How do you possess such boundless blood and energy, and such immense fist intent? You are a Martial Saint! How is this possible! How could a Martial Saint be in a small place like Wu Yuan Province!"

The old woman's face immediately changed color!
Martial Saint! That is the true pinnacle of martial arts, unparalleled throughout the world!

Even a ghost immortal would have to risk serious damage to their soul in order to slowly engage in a protracted battle.

Unless it's a ghost immortal who has survived the tribulation of lightning, there's absolutely no way to deal with a martial saint. Their spells are shattered by a single roar, and their souls and thoughts can't even get close to their bodies. How can they possibly fight like that?

Ordinary ghost immortals have no chance against martial saints except to avoid them altogether.

When sages are alive, ghosts and gods will not befriend them.

This phrase basically describes the difference between a ghost immortal and a martial saint.

"How is this possible! How is this possible! A mere Wuyuan Province has actually produced a Martial Saint! Even the Great Qian Dynasty only has two such experts, equivalent to a Three Tribulations Ghost Immortal in Daoist arts!"

The three halos behind the head of the Eternal Mother shook violently, and an invisible pressure spread outwards.

She stared intently at Lin Yu with a fierce glint in her eyes, muttering incantations as she shifted slightly, as if about to take flight.

Even though she possessed great supernatural powers and boundless strength, she was extremely wary of fighting against a martial arts master.

At that moment, she made a decisive decision: to flee!

"You want to leave now? Isn't it too late?" Lin Yu had already seen through Wusheng Laomu's move to get up and leave, and suddenly shouted.

He threw a punch, and an overwhelming will that could suppress hell and shake heaven erupted from his body, violently blasting towards the body of the Eternal Mother.

"Doumu's primordial spirit, dragon smoke protecting me, the Crimson Emperor's god guarding my body!"

The Eternal Mother was greatly alarmed; the crimson halo behind her head surged, transforming into a statue of the Crimson Emperor. This deity wore a crimson crown and a fiery ribbon around its waist, radiating an aura of supreme power reminiscent of an ancient holy emperor. It too unleashed a punch, directly clashing with Lin Yu's fist. "Bang!!!"

The instant their fists clashed, the entire provincial capital of Wuyuan trembled violently. A raging shockwave swept across half the city, countless roof tiles were ripped into the air, and sections of earthen walls collapsed in the distance, bricks and stones raining down onto the streets. Barking dogs and screams filled the air, and the entire city was instantly thrown into chaos.

Chi Chi Chi!
As if ice and snow were melting, this Crimson Emperor God suddenly disintegrated, turning into a shimmering green light that merged into the green halo behind the head of the Eternal Mother.

The Eternal Mother had the idea of ​​retiring, and with the three ghost immortal incarnations behind her head, she was able to levitate.

"Where did this martial saint come from? He's so troublesome! It seems he came here specifically to ambush me!"
Fortunately, the Martial Saint cannot fly, so I'll spare his life for now. Once I escape, I'll send a message to the Crown Prince, ordering him to mobilize all forces and tear him to pieces! Then I'll throw him into the furnace and forge him into a divine weapon!

Just as she took to the air, a wicked thought took root in her mind!

The masculine essence left behind by a martial artist who has achieved a unity of body and spirit after death is the best material for cultivating various magical treasures in Taoist arts!
However, what happened next left her speechless.

The instant she took to the air, Lin Yu also leaped up, transforming into a streak of wind and soaring straight into the sky.

A martial saint actually flew up!

"what?!"

The Eternal Mother's pupils suddenly contracted, and the wrinkles on her face twisted in shock. Her airborne form abruptly halted, and she nearly fell from the clouds.

This completely contradicted her understanding. No matter how strong a martial arts master is, they are still made of flesh and blood; how could they possibly soar through the heavens like a ghost immortal?
Little did they know that after Lin Yu broke through to the Martial Saint realm, his innate true qi and divine soul deeply merged, retaining the masculine energy of his physical body while also possessing the ethereal characteristics of his divine soul, thus truly achieving flight through the air, rather than gliding with the help of others as before.

Because of this trump card, even though his soul had not reached the level of a ghost immortal, he was not afraid of his opponent escaping.

This crucial point caused the Eternal Mother to completely miscalculate.

At this critical moment, even the old woman, Wusheng Laomu, finally gave up the idea of ​​leaving and settled down to fight with all her might!
"No matter how you can fly, there is absolutely no way you can kill me!"

Behind the head of the Eternal Mother, three great halos—red, black, and green—revolve in rotation. Each layer is formed from the immense incense and faith of the gods, and can transform into an imperial form with an aura reminiscent of an ancient sage emperor.

The Crimson Emperor emerged from the crimson halo, the Black Emperor from the black halo, and the Azure Emperor from the green halo.

Each deity is equivalent to a ghost immortal! The three halos represent three ghost immortals!

"Mysterious Nether Water Force, Black Emperor God, Azure Sun Wood Rhyme, Azure Emperor Spirit, all of you, come forth!"

The Eternal Mother roared, her divine powers surged, and two more halos shot out, instantly transforming into two illusory emperor figures. One was clad in a black robe, with billowing black smoke, like surging waves; the other was draped in a green robe, with dazzling green light, like a surging spring tide.

"Just in time!"

Lin Yu took a deep breath, a breath that was long and seemingly endless.

"drink!"

He swung his hands, his blood and qi surging like the Yangtze River, and threw a powerful punch.

"Take my punch, and heaven will descend!"

In an instant, boundless holy light condensed at the tip of his fist, and the phantom of a majestic temple of light appeared.

Vast holy light poured down like a celestial river, revealing the true face of the ancient paradise, and divine pressure shook heaven and earth.

Fist of Heaven.

This was originally a divine fist technique that only his true self could master, a technique that had been unparalleled throughout history and had slaughtered countless immortals and demons. He evolved it with pure martial arts will, truly demonstrating the meaning of the word "power"!

One punch, and heaven descends.

The Black Emperor God was instantly torn apart. This cult leader, who had wreaked havoc in the Central Plains, retreated repeatedly, her face pale. Faced with this punch, she felt terrified and powerless.

Lin Yu walked through the air, his body radiating boundless light, like a celestial being walking among mortals. With a light touch of his toes, the bright moon lotus flowers in the void bloomed one after another, illuminating the darkness in all directions.

"You old hag, your 'Eternal Mother' title isn't pure enough!"

Among all the heavens, the Vacuum Homeland is also a major power, and the Eternal Mother is even more famous. If it were the Golden Emperor Mother, how could she be beaten like this?

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yu appeared in front of the Eternal Mother as if by teleportation.

His eyes were like cold stars, his brows like sharp swords, his majesty profound, his holiness inviolable, radiating a white light more dazzling than the sun, and his heavenly fist intent made all the people of Wuyuan Province look up in awe.

He swept his fists horizontally, his physical body moving freely in the void, and once again arrived in front of the last Azure Emperor deity.

"Fist of Heaven!"

Divine light pervaded the universe; an ocean of light descended from the void, and the vast sea of ​​light completely engulfed the Azure Emperor and the Eternal Mother.

"No!" With a scream from the Eternal Mother, the Azure Emperor's divine spirit crumbled inch by inch, transforming into a rain of light. The remaining force of the fist slammed heavily into the Eternal Mother's chest.

Her emaciated body was sent flying backward like a rag doll, blood spurting from her seven orifices, and the remaining halo behind her head shattered one after another.

Lin Yu pursued him through the air, pressing down with a palm strike. The moonlight transformed into a cage, completely suppressing this cult leader who had wreaked havoc in the Central Plains.
